Sometimes people get into heated arguments on reddit. Sometimes opinions aren't always welcomed. Sometimes mods do stupid things that the community doesn't like.

Sometimes, dramatic things happen, and we at /r/ThePopcornStand are here to document those moments on reddit.

General rules

All judgement is left at moderator discretion.

The rules of reddit are always in effect; do not dox users or post information that can lead to doxx; do not call for brigades or witchhunts against subreddits or users; do not post child pornography; etc.

We ban people, not accounts; if you evade bans, you will be banned again. If you feel you have been unfairly banned, message the moderators to discuss it.

Rules for submitting threads

This subreddit is not your personal army. Don't submit drama that you are involved in. If you have posts in the comment chain but are not involved in the drama, then you can post it.

Don't make submissions using throwaway accounts to get around the above rule.

Rules for commenting

ThePopcornStand is not a safe space. We do not censor language or topics that some may find offensive.

While we don't censor words, we also don't allow the harassment of users; you can call someone an idiot, but you can't tell them to kill themselves.

Trolling for the sake of trolling is not allowed. Neither is spamming copypasta.

Do not comment or engage in the drama that is linked here. If you do and can prove that you found that thread "in the wild" (and not through TPS), there won't be trouble.

FAQ

"Why can't I see my post/thread?"

Most likely it's stuck in the spam filter. Drop us a line and if it is, we'll approve it. If it isn't, it's probably because you're involved in the drama somehow, or because your account is shadowbanned. We generally will let you know what the problem is before you even have to PM us.

"I don't like a certain post or comment. Can you remove it?"

Nope, sorry. We don't censor opinions here. Everyone is free to post, regardless of what their personal views on things are. Unless they are deliberately trolling, then we won't remove posts.

"Is there any kind of subreddit drama that isn't allowed?"

As long as the drama occurs on reddit, there are no limitations as to what you can post, so long as you aren't involved with it. We won't remove drama just because we don't like it.

Wonder if they have an alt in /r/unitedkingdom/ serious question btw, there was either a software bug or someone was heavily moderating a discussion on the EDL making it seem very much like one of the mods hates Jews.

well to be honest, he has a point about the immigration thing, my opinion is one of self-reliance, we have 300 million people in this country, and growing, that's way too many people, that's the main reason none of us can agree on anything, there's 300 million different view points on stuff, and since we can't agree we are stuck politically, and socially, sprinkle on the bacon bits of 30 or 40 billionaires who wanna own everything and you have a recipe for serious dysfunction, which we currently are dealing with.

The /r/news moderators have always been the most vocal politically-slanted commenters in that subreddit. It would probably help if they didn't have permanent badge flair on every comment; that's what the "distinguish" button is for, with moderation-related comments.

Politically incorrect, yes, but tbh the PC police have been running the show for a while and most of the same problems exist now as b4. It might be inappropriate for a mod to say that, but it seems like the mod decided for themselves b4 a larger decision was made.
